Google Pixel 4a Vs Samsung Galaxy S10e! (Comparison) (Review) By Simple Alpaca

Welcome back everyone time to do another, Google Pixel 4a comparison, who would have guessed it and this time we're going to go ahead and compare it to the Samsung Galaxy s10e. Now I've been saying that the Google Pixel 4a pretty much almost resembles 100 to the Samsung Galaxy s10e, which came out last year and what's hilarious about that is, is that they both were kind of the budget. Phones of that specific time, and at least from that manufacturer. Now with the Google Pixel 4a, this is a much cheaper version of the Galaxy S10e. However, for a brand-new pixel, 4a you're, getting it for about 350 dollars or a brand-new Galaxy S10e at the time, I think it was selling for 6.99 or 749, something like that. It doesn't matter because it doesn't cost that anymore.

You can easily pick up a Galaxy S10e for less than 400 dollars, pretty much everywhere, so I'll go ahead and find the cheapest one on Amazon and link it down in the description below, so you can get it from there and help support the channel at the same exact time now. Looking on the front I'll go ahead and start off with the Galaxy S10 since it's the older one, this one has a 5.8 inch, dynamic, AMOLED display it's 1080p, and it's really not a bad panel and with the Samsung Galaxy s10e, I always felt like that panel was pretty good. I never really hated on it. I was just really, really glad that Samsung didn't put a notch on it, because if they did, I would have literally cried in my sleep, but it was a pretty good design phone and the fact that it had you know shared the same body, language as the more expensive s10 and s10 plus. That was definitely one of my favorite things about it, and I gave a lot of respect for Samsung for doing that.

It's a 1080p display, like I said, and it's a whole push display, so you have very little bezel on it, which is another huge highlight of it and overall the phone looks perfect. I think you know the screen looks perfect too, but the Google Pixel 4a kind of, like I said, is almost the s 10 e, but reincarnated. It has a 5.8 one inch OLED display, and this one is also 1080p. Now the pixels per inch are a little higher on the Google Pixel 4a, so kind of keep that in mind, so it's.01 inches bigger than the s10e, and you can tell they're almost exactly the same size they're a little different, but just because they're the same size and look kind of the same doesn't mean they're the same phone at all, and I'll get into more details in literally like two seconds, but the Pixel 4a screen isn't really that bad, like. I think it's pretty good for the price that you're paying for it.

The viewing angles were actually surprisingly, really decent, and I don't know why I always bring that up. But that was like the first thing that I noticed and that actually kind of threw me off, and I think the phone looks perfect too. Like I said, s10e Pixel 4a almost look identical. They look almost like twins so for sure I'll give a thumbs up for both these panels, but I kind of think that the Samsung Galaxy s10 actually has a better looking panel. I don't know what it is.

Samsung does a really, really good job with their panels and I would probably give the edge to the s10 when it comes down to the panels themselves on the bottom, USB type-c ports on both and both actually have headphone jacks, which is astounding. Now I don't know who's gonna use the headphone jack now, but you have that capability on these phones, which is really cool, and on the back, you can see a single camera setup on the Pixel 4a and a dual camera setup on the Galaxy S10e glass back on the s10e or on the Pixel 4a. We have a plastic bag and, as I stated before, the build quality of the Google Pixel 4a is probably one of its biggest problems, and it's not a problem because you know, but you're paying for it. You know you're paying a cheaper price for a cheaper phone, but when you compare it to something like a s10e, I mean you can definitely feel the quality that the s10 is bringing it feels like a thousand dollar phone with a Pixel 4a does actually feel like a 350 phone. Is it a bad thing? It totally depends on up to you.

You know just the way the phone feels and everything isn't everything, but for me personally, I would rather prefer a more premium feeling phone than a phone that you know may be cheaper. You know I'd rather spend more money on a more premium feeling phone, but just in case you can't- or just in case you know, you think differently. Obviously the Pixel 4a is there for you, and maybe it's an acquired taste. I don't know, but some other things to keep in mind. The Samsung Galaxy s9 does have IB certification, which is a really cool thing.

The Google Pixel 4a does not have it and the Pixel 4a does not have any wireless charging where the Samsung Galaxy s10i actually has it. So a pretty big thing to keep in mind and another huge thing to keep in mind the Samsung Galaxy s10 has a micro SD card slot with the Google Pixel 4a does not have any memory card expansion at all. So is it a big deal? That's something you're going to have to ask yourself me personally, I would have loved to see like a micros card slot on this phone, but I don't think google has ever put a micro SD card slot on any of their devices, so I'm not really surprised, but that really pretty much covers it up in terms of the outside. You know to kind of sum up my little outside comparison, I think definitely the s10e is the better feeling and just better looking phone overall, but the foray is the cheaper phone, and you're getting a perfect quality phone for that specific price tag now hitting on the software lifecycle of these phones. Technically speaking, I do think the Pixel 4a will outlast the s10e, but we just got news that the s10 lineup, including the future lineups of Samsung, are actually going to be gaining an extra year of support which is going to be humongous, and I think that's going to be a really awesome thing.

I literally cannot wait for that to happen. So, technically speaking, the Samsung Galaxy s10 will actually end on around android 12. As far as I know whether Google Pixel 4, where I actually probably end off, I think, on android 13. I think that's what it was so android 11 android, 12, android 13. I think around android 13 is when the pixel 4 is going to end, and maybe you can keep going longer or whatever, but the pixel lineup has a perfect advantage over the Samsung Galaxy s10e and that's two things.

Actually one stock android pixel Fourier has stock android s10 has the bulky. You know one UI, which still really isn't that bad, but it's kind of annoying stock android is perfect. I, like it a lot more than one UI, but the other thing is: you know the custom ROM support, there's a huge custom, ROM support for the Pixel 4a with the s10e. I don't even think you can custom ROM like 99 of them. You can.

I think you can do them for the Enos versions, but you can't do it for the snapdragon versions, which is really annoying. So keep that in mind. That's a big thing to keep in mind. If you're not a custom Rommel, then it doesn't really matter. But if you're somebody who likes you know modding their phones, the pixel 48 will probably do you better in the long run, so that kind of covers it up in terms of the software again to each own.

Some people might prefer one UI, but I definitely do prefer stock android and I think the Pixel 4a definitely wins there now hitting on the performance. I did a little of a speed test, so you guys can see it too. The s10 has a Qualcomm snapdragon 855 chipsets, an outscore CPU and arena 640 GPU, and two different models: six gigs of ram and the base model and then eight gigs of ram on the top tier model. In this case, I had the base model with the Google Pixel 4a has that Qualcomm snapdragon 730g chipset, an outscore CPU and arena 618 GPU and the six gigs of ram and there's only one model of it and what I can tell you are and from my speed test and everything I kind of found that the s10e is an extremely fast performing phone. I never really had any problems with it.

I never really, you know, had any issues with it, but the Pixel 4a, I still think, is the smoother device and speed and everything is important too. But what would you rather have? But the smoother phone may very well be the Pixel 4a, because one UI, and even on my Samsung Galaxy s20 and my s20 ultra whenever I mess with them like it always seems like they glitch up a little. They always do some really weird things sometimes, and when you have a phone like the 4a that stock android, it doesn't have a lot of components running in the background. That's a huge asset for that phone and I think that's one reason why the Pixel 4a, just you know, is so much smoother because it has way less things running in the background. So the 4a, I think, is the smoother one overall.

So hopefully that makes sense. I think you know if you want the smoother device, I think that's probably a better way to go, and I would rather pick up a 4a than the s10, but the best thing is to have both to have a great performance and great smoothness and there are some phones out there like that. But we're not talking about those right now so performance wise that pretty much covers it. Hopefully, that kind of broke it down for you guys now hitting on the cameras, a dual camera setup on the s10e, a 12, megapixel, wide angle lens and a 16 megapixel ultrawide sensor, where the Google Pixel 4a will have that 12.2 megapixel wide-angle lens single camera setup and on both we can shoot 4k videos, but we are able to do 4k at 60 on the Samsung Galaxy s10e, or we're not able to do that on the pixel, 4a and you're. Just going to have to ask yourself: you know how big of a thing is that for you, if you like doing 4k videos, if you like doing 4k 60, then yeah you're, probably better off, going with the Galaxy S10e.

But I definitely do think that the pixel 4's camera is still good enough for the most part. Whatever you're going to do with this going to be perfectly fine, it can take pretty good photos and I think, for sure the s10 is probably the better winner. I even think the s10 probably has the better photos as well, but again, once I do my full camera comparison, I'll go and break it down. For you a little further so 10 megapixel sensor on the s10 on the front 8 megapixel sensor in the Pixel 4a, you can do 4k 860 on the s10e, only 1080p on the Pixel 4a, so that pretty much covers it up in terms of the camera now ending it off with the battery life. The Galaxy S10 had a 100 million power battery, but the Pixel 4a had a 3 140 William hour battery, and, to be honest, I think this is weird.

The Pixel 4a has the better battery life. In my opinion, from what I've been testing, I think the pixel 4 actually has pretty decent battery life. However, a big thing to keep in mind is that you do not have any wireless charging on the Pixel 4a like I stated earlier, but not only that, but you have a reverse wireless charging on the Galaxy S10e as well. So I don't know if you want the better battery life overall, probably the pixel 4 is the better way to go, but you have that crazy capability of wireless charging, which is such a mind-boggling feature, I guess, but that reverse wireless charging, which is really cool, and you don't have that on the Pixel 4a. So that's definitely a battery feature.

That's a big thing to keep in mind, but I mean better battery life. Pixel 4a, better battery features is definitely for the s10e. Now. To sum up this a comparison and to answer the question, you know if you had to pick one of these, which one would it be in my opinion, I think I would still rather pick up a Samsung Galaxy s10 between both of these and that's basically for two reasons: the better build quality and the better cameras I feel like the s10, actually has the better camera setup. You have that better capability of shooting, 4k 60 and even on the front camera doing 4k 60, and I just like how the phone feels it feels perfect.

You have expandable storage, you have a lot of different things and the s10e feels like a more of a complete phone with the Pixel 4a it like feels like you paid. Furthermore, you know that much for that device, but that's not a bad thing either. I think the pixel 4 is a tremendous phone. I really don't have any problems with it per se and I think that's a perfect thing about this phone. If you need to go, get a brand-new phone, the Pixel 4a is there for you, it's very convenient.

You can go online order it whenever it's available, and you can just move on with your day and I think that's a huge asset for the Pixel 4a. It's definitely not the best phone. Even between these two. It's not. I don't think it's as good as the s10e, but I still think it has a lot of value and, if you're planning on getting it, I say, go for it, be my guest and there's a lot of advantages for the 4a as well.
